St. Davids is a community in Radnor Township, Pennsylvania. It is served by its own train station.

The community, on the Pennsylvania Main Line, was named for St. Davids Church, an 18th century church in the area that was in turn named for St. David, the patron saint of Wales (the country of origin of many of the area's first European settlers).

Located near I-476 (The Blue Route) and Lancaster Avenue, St. Davids is about 15 miles from Philadelphia and has recently experienced a large growth spurt, however it is still a quiet residential community which shares a zip code (19087) with the adjacent community of Wayne, Pennsylvania.
